I'm going to be odd man out. I like being the age I am. I am more confident, feel the most attractive, most secure in who I am, feel the most secure in knowing what God wants me to do with my life than ever before.
I'm happiest at this age then I ever have been.
I agree, because now I know who I am (which I did not then) I am free to be religious and have my faith (which was not with atheist parents as young child)
Just those two things mean so much.
Also I was really depressed as a child.A total outsider.Did not fit in anywhere (still dont) but atleast know who I am now and have God etc....
I wouldnt mind being there for me as in the adult me comforting, healing the child me and just "being there" saying I understand, Im here.....things will get better...
But humble my soul we learn from experiences and even long suffering we can understand others better also.
I would "mother myself" as in understand, listen, encourage, support, listen, see, care, love cause I did not feel that..
I would guide me into good positive things with love and care and not such destructive things (although it is a experience) (humble my soul)
I would be who I am and be confident in that and not the person I somehow became but who i truly am.
I would reach out to people, try communicate....
But I would not want to go through that again.
i really really had horrible feelings ....
